The four from lab have made us all proud.
It was Jorben Jo and Nilesh Joshi Ameta .
Now of Sneha Priya Reddy who also brought laurels to the lab. Mentored under the able guidance of Bharadwaj Chellapilla from IARI Pusa and Kadambot Siddique from UWA Research , she worked on Thesis title: Morpho-physiological analysis and comparative proteomics profiling of chickpea genotypes under terminal drought stress.
An excellent work under the DBT AISRF programme her PhD brought her laurels at PAG USA and also at ICRISAT giving her best research paper award.
Excellent and very i formative publications were brought out from her research which also highlighted the collaboration between UWA and IARI.
